The answer is probably I could but I don't think I want to. The problem I am solving (and the source of the json ) is described here http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XQuery/Freebase but I had to reimplent the JSON to XML conversion in JSONiq because of the performance of the xqjson utility. I haven't yet looked at XSLT 3.0 but I have seen references to xsl:iterate floating around and I imagine that would be the mechanism for iterating over all the cursors. Since in this case a lossless conversion of the JSON can be done the question I would ask is what value is added by writing a program that entails data formats from more than one technology domain. The answer is none, so why then risk the disadvantages of an application that is dependent on bleeding edge technology. The fact that a cure {JSONiq, XSLT3) exists for a disease (JSON) isn't good reason to inflict the disease upon yourself. Yes I called it a disease because it pops up in places where it has no business being. If you are integrating corporate data feeds or XHTML (natural format for data scraped from the web) you need someone giving you JSON like you need a hole in the head. The harder you look the more it looks like the result of a misdiagnosis
